CONTRADICTORY REPORTS. THREE HUNDRED KILLED. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) BOGOTA, December 21. (Received Dec. 22, at 8 p.m.) A Columbia newspaper reports that the toll of revolutionary disturbance in South-western Venezuela is ■••300. The revolutionaries captured the town of La B'atera, killing the civil chief, and burning the city hall and the public archives. The Government troops were surprised, and were unable to defend the city. A communique issued at San Cristobel, the capital of the State of Tachira, in which La Batera is situated, said that the outbreak was a bandid depredation without a revolutionary motive.
